Hi guys,

New to the boards as I was doing a bit of research/planning for my trip which departs on Saturday :banana: :banana: :yay:

One thing that has just came to my attention today is that the US DST date change is different to the UK (which I never knew) basically it's due to change on March 11th for those people that are over there during that time please don't get caught out by the clocks going forward and arrive at the parks late :sad2:

If this is common knowledge then I apologise for wasting board space and for being stupid
 
Hi dtm, and welcome :wave2:

Thanks for the heads up. I think, on the whole, the time changes tend to co-incide, but every now and again it differs by a week or so.

From your post I'm assuming that this isn't your first trip. Tell us a bit about yourself and your WDW history.
 
does that mean i can't call till 1pm on the 12th to make my ADR's:confused3

No you can call at 11am as they 'jump' forward an hour so there will only be 4 hours difference until our clocks go forward.

Claire ;)
 

Hi,
Here's a link to an article about the changes:

:cool2:

And the irony is that MickG has actually managed to post a link to the website I originally found it on but I couldn't post it as I havent used the boards enough! :rolleyes1

As for answering UKDebs' question, I've been over there a few times Sept 98, June 99, Sept 2004 and Sept 2005, this is tip number 5 and was primarily booked (apart from being a holiday) as a scouting mission as I'm planning on getting married over there next year all being well so we have to visit the wedding planner and the venue just to make sure we like it as you can never tell in photo's.

We are going with another couple that are good friends of ours and everyone is very excited as one friend hasn't been at all and another was there a good few years ago (before universal so pre 1990) and as always with Disney/Orlando everything changes so it will all be new to him anyway.

After reading that it was spring break over there I thought a little bit of planning would be in order just so we didn't get caught short as a 15 min queue per ride is more bearable than a 45-60 min queue and over the course of a 2 week holiday could save you a day or two!

But with only 5 days to go we've gone past the point of no return and it's all in the hands of fate now, although the weather forecast so far seems to be perfect.

I've also just realised that in my hastiness to reply that it was a 2 part question!!

My WDW history isn't as long as my florida history as my very first trip was only for a week so Universal/Sea World/Busch were the order of the day as I'd always wanted to visit Universal so that meant Disney had to be sacrificed. My trip the year after included WDW and covered all the major parks + disney quest, no water parks though. With being an older kid :-) I didn't enjoy MK as much although I did get to go on the extraterrorestrial encounter before they shut it down, loved MGM but was let down by AK and Epcot at the time.
Trip 3 was my other halfs first visit so all of WDW was on the cards again, however it had been a good few years since my last visit and epcot had the trump card of mission space (and a working test track) and I fell in love with that ride, worth the admission alone for me, plus a trip to La Nouba was carried out and the show is out of this world.
The last trip was slightly more selective so MK, AK and La Nouba were removed from the list but blizzard beach and crazy golf were added to the list and were a lot of fun, I managed to become a crazy golf junkie doing all 3 disney courses and another 3-4 of the others.
This time however with having newbies with us everything (and I mean everything) is back on, I think to fit it all in we'll have to be selective on some of the rides (removing some kiddies rides and long drawn out ones) so we can fit in 2 disney parks a day. I predict blisters by the time we come home!
